I use a synthetic grease with molybdenum in it. The moly makes a slick grease. Shell and others make it.

Brian,
Here you go:

Valvoline makes another moly grease called Synpower, the upper range of the
temperatures it will stand is a bit higher than Dura Blend.

I use Moly fortified grease in just about everything. I buy it by the case at TSC. (Tractor Supply). It comes in a red tube and the color of the grease is black inside. If you are worried about things getting hot and still needing grease like wheel bearings and CV joints, then I would look at Valvoline SynPower synthetic grease for those spots only. It is a waste of money for tie rod ends and ball joints.

Ken,
I assume the grease below is the brand you get from Tractor Supply @ $3.19 a
tube.

Here's the Synpower from Napa @ $6.39 a tube!

I agree it is overkill for steering parts. I decided to go with it because
it meant I only had to have ONE grease gun.

That looks like it. I buy it by the case so it has been many years since I bought some. I think I paid about $2.50 a tube many years ago. I use it on my John Deere and all of my cars. If I am doing wheel bearings then I get a tube of Valvoline SynPower Synthetic and put it in my wheels bearing packer. I also have one special grease gun with it in it for greasing my front wheel bearings using the zerks that Dave Lenzi drilled and installed for me.
I buy Kroil by the case also so I do not know what it costs these days either.
